The urine tests don't require sending anything to a lab, and give results in under five minutes.
Not faster in terms of lab processing time, faster in terms of showing results closer to the date of conception (since it's more sensitive).

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think "faster" in this context means "earlier in the pregnancy".
I'm a strong proponent of sleeping when you are tired, vw. I understand wanting to be able to sleep tonight, but wearing yourself out meanwhile might notbe worth it.

{{vw}} Can you set yourself to a fun-ish task like baking something, or go out for a walk or something? When I need to stay awake it usually means I have to find something to do that keeps me from looking at the clock.
Bonjour! We got back from Paris last night, and we have no idea what time it is. My watch says just before 1 p.m., but it doesn't feel right.

SA, I just have SUCH curl envy!
Me, too!!! It's adorable hair like this that made me resort to bad perms as a kid. SA is so damned adorable.
They're just not gonna see me at my best. Ha!
This made me laugh out loud.
Today is Toddler Zone/McDonalds day. I'm very full of French fries, as is Liv. Owen fed his chicken nuggets to the dog.

Ah. Gotcha. I think most Doctor's office urine tests now detect at 20-25 mIU, which is pretty damn sensitive, but would still have a false negative rate slightly higher than that of a beta blood draw. I suspect my doctor's office sees the chance of a false negative as slim enough to not be worth the cost of the lab work.
